Know before you buy
Binchotan charcoal is naturally porous and has a high surface area, which allows it to trap and neutralize odor-causing bacteria. By inhibiting bacterial growth, the cloth stays smelling fresh significantly longer than standard cotton dishcloths.
No, the binchotan charcoal is infused into the fibers of the cloth, not applied as a surface dye. It will not transfer color to your surfaces or dishes during use.
To keep the cloth in top condition, wash it on a delicate cycle in cold water and hang it to dry. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the natural fibers and the charcoal infusion.
Yes, the 6-ply construction and textured surface provide enough friction to effectively scrub away stubborn messes without being abrasive enough to damage delicate surfaces.
While it may feel slightly firm when air-dried, the 100% natural cotton fibers are designed to soften with every use and wash. The more you use it, the more pliable and comfortable it becomes.
The multi-layer weave is designed to be highly absorbent while remaining breathable. It dries much faster than traditional thick terry cloth, which helps prevent the damp, musty smell common in kitchen towels.
